Last month, "Humans of New York" displayed a large installation that took over Grand Central Terminal.

"The mayor of New York, I will say, would like to meet with us and we'll work something out. He would like to come to Washington and meet," he said. "We want to see everything work out well for New York."

The so-called "RAT" act, which the Council passed on Thursday, requires all buildings with 31 or more units to use on-street bins to dispose of residential waste. Buildings with 10 to 30 units can choose to use the large bins or set out waste in smaller containers. Earlier this year, the sanitation department wrote that the rollout of the on-street bins may take seven years due to protracted fights over parking.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani would do well to remember the words of chef and humanitarian Jose Andres: We must build longer tables. Mayor Mamdani should build a long policy tableone that makes room for a diversity of perspectives as it relates to small businesses, and he should ensure that the hospitality industry has a seat to inform his restaurant and nightlife policy.

"They've left me hanging," said 59-year-old Lu Nicaj, whose 30-year tile-construction supply shop Eagle Tile is facing closure over the upcoming second phase of the behemoth Manhattan transit project. "I don't know the future. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I do not know what's gonna happen," he told The Post. "It's the whole David and Goliath thing," Nicaj said - adding that this time David might not win.

Starting around 6:15 a.m., traffic was backing up onto the Staten Island-bound Goethals due to congestion at the Forest Avenue/Gulf Avenue exit, according to an alert from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

A pivotal moment in Long Island and metro New York transportation history; one that led state officials to wrest control of the beleaguered, bankrupt LIRR from its long-absentee owner, the Pennsylvania Railroad, leading to millions of dollars in safety improvements and system upgrades and the creation of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in the 1960s.

The Red Storm recorded a 31-5 record, won an outright Big East regular season title for the first time since 1985, swept through the Big East Tournament to capture that trophy for the first time in 25 years, and entered the NCAA Tournament as a No. 2 seed. The rebirth mobilized New York City and brought college basketball fans back to Madison Square Garden.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has an ambitious agenda for his city. In addition to promising big changes to its transportation system, Mamdani vowed to make housing more affordable. The focus on housing affordability is understandable, given that the average rent of a one-bedroom apartment in the Big Apple is more than $4,000 a month. For many in the city, housing costs consume nearly a half of their income, leaving little room for savings or any security.

Over the past 15 days, Governor Kathy Hochul has: fought the orders of a state judge who said she must enforce the state's climate laws; announced she was going to delay the implementation of the state's move to all-electric buildings; approved a climate-killing pipeline that will run through New York Harbor from the South Shore of Staten Island to the Rockaways, five years after it was originally denied; and allowed a cryptocurrency outfit to keep running a dirty fossil fuel plant to mine digital currencies.

After living in New York City for a decade, it's safe to say I've ridden the subway and the bus a thousand times over. I've taken public transport to work, to friends' apartments, and home from bars in the dead of night. And while you undoubtedly need to keep your wits about you, it would be untrue to say that riding public transportation in New York is a danger in and of itself.

Hasidic rabbis attended the annual International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries and gathered in prayer Friday in the Queens borough of New York City at the resting place of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.

NYC Ferry routes will be operating with major changes starting Dec. 8 - including combined routes with new stops - as part of an new "optimized" ferry plan designed to carry more New Yorkers between boroughs. Under the new Ferry Optimization Plan, riders will finally be able to trek from Brooklyn and Staten Island via the St. George route, which starts in West Manhattan and ends at Wall Street.

Queens Democratic Party leader Rep. Greg Meeks is on record with strong praise of Julie Menin. Menin, a more moderate leaning member from Manhattan, also has some support in the Bronx, which tends to align with Queens. Council Member Crystal Hudson, meanwhile, is seen as a top pick for progressives. But no one's vote tally is written in ink. Some see potential for Council Member Amanda Farías to emerge as a compromise candidate should the two front-runners' nebulous coalitions fall apart.
